Fortunately I do not run across this that much when it comes to me painting cars and bikes, just every once in a while like I stated earlier. Most of my customers just tell me to do it and they dont care what it cost, they just want it done. Sometimes I have transports dropping off cars or their bodies before I hear from the owners. All I will do is just push it to the back and wait on the phone call or email. :lol:

But I find it funny that when I bring a quilt top into my fabric store to try and match up a backing or a border for the quilt, I have all of these women saying "Oh you could make a fortune selling these". :roll: I just look and laugh and usually tell them that I am not good enough to start selling them. And after telling them the amount of labor that goes into them they are really amazed.

The best advice that I have to give to this dilemma of "How much would you charge" is to use my favorite saying........

"If you have to ask how much, then nine times out of ten you cant afford me"! :mrgreen:
